Over the next 4 years the bell ringers at Nocton Church are going to attempt to ring a half muffled quarter peal to commemorate the centenaries of the deaths of the 12 Nocton residents/natives who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Great War. The plan is to ring these quarter peals on the actual anniversary of their deaths if possible.

About Us

All Saints Church is a fine example of a mid-Victorian Gothic revival church. Consecrated in Dec 1862 as All Saints, on the site of the former and much smaller St Peters. The grand building is still in use today and is successfully holding its own against the tide of secularism.
